Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole refused to answer repeated questions this morning about how Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kenney declared a state of public health emergency last night in the face of a spiralling health emergency, the highest case count in the country, and overcrowded intensive care units.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says conservative politicians haven't been as effective in fighting the pandemic.
O'Toole would only say Trudeau should have tackling the fourth wave instead of calling an election.
N-D-P Leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters in Toronto he would send in the military to help overwhelmed Alberta health care workers.
